I apologize for the poor quality for most of these photos.  My lens was smudged and I didn't realize it until I got to a different crossing.

In June 2015, we see the white DOT signs were replaced with blue ones.

I never really liked how the first set photos I took of this crossing turned out since the lens was smudged, so I decided to do a complete retake in November 2016.  The change that has happened since June 2015 was that the DOT signs were turned to face forward.
